The World Games 2022 Athletes’ Night took place on Wednesday, 13 July at Jones Valley Teaching Farm. The night is special as it’s the main celebration event in the middle of the Games. It is dedicated to those participants who miss the two official ceremonies.
Reading the weather forecast the event nearly didn’t happen. But fortunately the foreseen thunderstorm curved around Birmingham. To be really sure, the party was delayed by two hours, starting a 7pm instead at 5pm.
This private event for athletes and participants included an interactive experience, a live DJ and of course food and beverages. In addition to the private event at Jones Valley Teaching Farm, athletes and participants were treated to a world-class performance from Big Boi, one-half of OutKast, the Grammy-award winning Hip-Hop group.
